The La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) recently issued an update on its Dancing with the La Jolla Stars taking place Saturday, Oct. 5 from 6 to 10 p.m. at La Jolla Torrey Pines Hilton.

“The LJTC, with the assistance of Las Patronas, is using the medium of dance as a fundraiser for the La Jolla community, particularly for improvement projects so desperately needed,” said event spokeswoman Nancy Gardner. “We are also fundraising to benefit Warriors and Quiet Waters, a wounded-warrior project.”

The October fundraiser’s featured hostess will be TV’s Mary Murphy from “So You Think You Can Dance,” accompanied by MC Jonathan Roberts from “Dancing with the Stars,” who will also be judging the dance competition.

La Jolla beautification projects, the proposed Belvedere project, La Jolla Community Center, La Jolla Christmas Parade, Warriors and Quiet Waters for Wounded Warriors, Las Patronas, Best Friends, for First Responders and the Police Historical Association will be beneficiaries of the first La Jolla Dancing With The Stars.
